Purpose

The Mill Lane Conservation Area is located in
Clewer Village to the north-west of Windsor. The area was
designated in 1974 but does not have a Conservation Area Appraisal.
A Conservation Area Appraisal is an important document for
development management purposes that explains the importance of a
conservation area and describes how this can be retained and
enhanced, particularly when new works are proposed. This report
seeks Cabinet approval for the draft Mill Lane Conservation Area
Appraisal and agreement to undertake a period of public
consultation on the document. The appraisal will then be revised to
take account of the views of local residents and interested
parties, and submitted to Cabinet for final approval.
